Mother Tong looked at Tong Yifei's pale face and asked uneasily," What's wrong?"”
"Mom, I have to go back." Tong Yifei pulled open the blanket, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and changed into her clothes. "Lingjie's mother said that Lingjie drank. I don't know how much he drank. He's drunk. I have to go back and take care of him.”
"Why is this child drinking? Did anything happen?”Tong Yifei quickly put on her clothes, and Mother Tong was not at ease after hearing Tong Yifei's words. She thought of what she had said in the morning and was afraid that Ling Jie was angry because of what she had said. "Go back and tell Lingjie that I didn't mean anything by what I said today.”
"Mom, I know." Tong Yifei hurriedly put on her clothes. Actually, she was afraid that Lingjie wouldn't be able to get over the hurdle in her heart." I'll tell Lingjie. You can tell Dad that I'll visit him next time."”
"Got it. Be careful on the way back.”Mother Tong called out to Tong Yifei.
As she walked out of the door, Tong Yifei felt a chill on her face. She took a deep breath before going downstairs. At night, the temperature in Cang City would drop very low. Tong Yifei was wearing thin clothes, and her skin was so cold that it gave her goosebumps. She hugged her hands and poked them hard to warm them up. It was already difficult to stop a taxi by the roadside. She ran back and forth for a long time before she finally got a taxi home.
When she returned, she saw Mother Ling's cold face. Her already serious face became even colder, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Tong Yifei looked away from her gaze and walked in. Just as she was about to return to her room, she was called out coldly," Stop right there. Come back here."”
She didn't know why she was obedient and turned around. She stood in front of Mother Ling." Mother, is there anything else?”
"Tell me what happened between you and Lingjie today. Lingjie has never drunk so much before, but ever since he married you, Lingjie has been getting more and more tired. He's been busy until very late every day. Why don't you understand Lingjie and quarrel with him?”Mother Ling said as she slammed the table.
"Mom, what happened today was an accident. I didn't know Lingjie would drink so much.”Tong Yifei hurriedly explained.
"You don't know? Tong Yifei, what are you doing? Is your brain filled with tofu dregs?"”Mother Ling's eyes almost popped out." It's fine if you say nothing happened, but if something happened, I'd like to see what you'd do." I only have one son. What should I do?”
"Mom, I understand. I'll be more careful next time.”Tong Yifei lowered her head and said. Her heart was in turmoil." Then I'll go take care of him first. You should go and rest early."”
"Forget it, I'm tired too. I can't compare to you young people. I won't talk to you anymore. Take good care of Lingjie. He's suffering every day.”Mother Ling said.
Tong Yifei didn't say anything else. She just lowered her head and silently acknowledged him. When she returned to the room, it was dark inside. She could vaguely see Ling Jie's figure lying on the bed and the sound of his shallow breathing. Tong Yifei felt very tired. She lay down beside Ling Jie and hugged him from behind. Her nose touched Ling Jie's body and she could smell the clear smell of alcohol on him.
The cold smell was like poison that swept through Tong Yifei's sense of smell.
Ling Jie was like a child now, sleeping soundly. She hugged Ling Jie and thought about the slap that she had received today. She felt the pain in her bones. she said. "I'm sorry."
She knew that Ling Jie couldn't hear her, but she still had to say it. At least it would make her feel better. After lying in bed for a while, Tong Yifei got up again to get some water to wipe Ling Jie down. She helped him change his clothes and covered him with the blanket before she went to wash up. After that, she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her eyelids. She lay down beside Ling Jie and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Ling Jie was thirsty again. Tong Yifei ran back and forth a few times, almost with her eyes closed. It was a dark room, and the lights were not turned on. Tong Yifei bumped into the edge of a table. She was in so much pain that she grimaced in pain but did not dare to make a sound. After helping Ling Jie drink some water, she went back to sleep.
When Ling Jie woke up in the morning, he saw Tong Yifei lying beside him. He was surprised. Tong Yifei said that she wouldn't come back, so he asked. "Why are you back?"
"I came back last night. Mom said that you drank and asked me to come back to take care of you.”Tong Yifei covered her blanket and said," Lingjie, don't make a fuss. I'm exhausted. I was busy until midnight last night. You made a fuss again and I couldn't sleep well. Let me sleep a little longer." Otherwise, your mother will come and call me again."
Ling Jie lowered his head to look at Tong Yifei's sleeping face. He furrowed his brows and hugged Tong Yifei tightly. "Tong Yifei, are you still angry with me?”
"Why are you angry? Haven't you heard of the old saying that when a husband and wife quarrel, they will quarrel at the end of the bed? Why should I quarrel with you? It will hurt my heart and my body.”Tong Yifei's figure was not very real. "I was afraid that you would be angry with me. My mother told me to tell you not to be angry. It was her fault yesterday.”
"No, actually, Mom is right. I'm not capable.”Ling Jie suddenly said. "Mom is right. I have nothing to begin with. I'm already lucky to have married you. Since there was no such thing, why should I deny it?”
"It's fine as long as you don't hold it against me. Let bygones be bygones. Don't mention it again.”Tong Yifei's head rested on Ling Jie's arm. "You don't have to say anything else. I, Tong Yifei, will marry a chicken and follow a chicken and a dog. I'll accept it. Since I'm not calculative, you don't have to keep it in your heart.”
"But this is what I owe you.”Ling Jie said.
"Alright, treat me better if you owe me.”Tong Yifei smiled with her eyes closed. She pushed Ling Jie." Go take a shower and drink some strong tea to get rid of the alcohol. Then, go to work. Otherwise, you'll be late again."”
"Alright, I'll leave first. Sleep more. I'll tell Mom not to disturb you." Ling Jie sat up and pulled Tong Yifei's blanket.
"Thank you, hubby. You're my caring little cotton-padded jacket.”Tong Yifei tossed and turned on the bed, flopping around like a fish.
Seeing Tong Yifei like this, Ling Jie was helpless. He could only rub his head that was in so much pain that it felt like it was about to split open and go out to wash up. He staggered with his eyes closed as he stretched his body. He did not notice that his foot had knocked into the table leg. Ling Jie gritted his teeth in pain and jumped and rolled onto the sofa. "Who put their things here? They don't know how to put them away after using them.”
"It's me. Do you have an opinion?" Mother Ling dragged the towel into the living room and started cleaning. "This house is only this big. If I don't put it here, where should I put it?”
"I was wrong, I was wrong.”Ling Jie didn't want to say anything in the early morning." Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little more?"”
"When people get old, they naturally sleep less.”Mother Ling said as she wiped the dust off the table while talking to Ling Jie. "Unlike young people like you who want to sleep every day and wake up naturally. You said that you'd already slept through the day, but didn't you lose the day?”
"What do you know? This is called reasonable allocation of time. If you go to work and can't even rest well, your body won't be able to take it.”Ling Jie yawned as if he was still half-asleep.
"Look at you. You don't look like a young man.”Mother Ling looked at Ling Jie in disgust. "I made you some strong tea.”After saying that, she looked at Ling Jie's room with a longing look. "I don't know what's wrong with your wife. She hasn't woken up after sleeping for so long and doesn't know how to cook for you.”
"Mom, I have to talk about you now.”Ling Jie's mind cleared up a little." Why did you ask Tong Yifei to come back like that? It's so inconvenient for her to take care of the child.”
"What, am I wrong? If I hadn't called her back, who would have taken care of you when you were so drunk last night?”Mother Ling stopped what she was doing and looked at the door. She lowered her voice and said," Brat, didn't you see how drunk you were last night? If Yuanyuan didn't send you home, what would you do?"”
"Yuanyuan? You Le Yuan? It can't be, right?" Ling Jie thought. "Mom. Bai Ye was there last night too."
"I don't know about that. Anyway, no matter how I look at it, I feel that Yuanyuan likes you.”Mother Ling thought about it and asked Ling Jie. "Did you have anything to do with Yuanyuan in the past?”
"What are you talking about? We have a normal friendship." Ling Jie was convinced by his mother's imagination. Who said that only young people liked to let their imagination run wild?" I'm going to do my thing. I'll go to work after that.”
"I almost forgot. Hey, Lingjie, hurry up and drink something.”Mother Ling then went to wipe the table.
Ling Jie hurriedly washed up and went back into the house to get his things. After changing his clothes, he turned around and saw Tong Yifei sleeping soundly with her hands on her head. He leaned into Tong Yifei's ear and said," I'm leaving. You should get up early and go out for a walk."”
"Got it." Tong Yifei's voice was muffled.
It was still early, and Ling Jie rubbed his head, which still hurt a little, and went out. He saw that Tong Yifei probably didn't rest well yesterday, so he didn't say anything to her. Before she left the house, she told her mother," Don't wake Tong Yifei up. Let her sleep well."”
There was no sound from inside. Ling Jie waited for a while, but there was no response. He changed his shoes at the door and left. She bought a simple breakfast by the roadside and went to the bus stop to take the bus.
When they arrived at the company, everyone was not there yet. Instead, Song Jia came. Ling Jie sat down and had nothing to do, so he went to look at Song Jia's estimation report. Song Jia looked at it for a long time with a serious expression." Lingjie, can you lower the price?"”
"But this is the lowest price I can offer.”Ling Jie knew what Song Jia meant, but he felt that since he had already done it, why not do it better?
"No, Lingjie, I'm not doubting your ability. You know that our company is not big. It's just a small company under the Xi Yue Group. To put it bluntly, although Xi Yue had some years of history. However, Boya is rarely favored. We are all seeking our own development. We're just a small magazine agency, and we only have three magazines under our banner. Moreover, our sales aren't very good, so we don't have much financial resources to support such a large expenditure.”Song Jia held her forehead. Her 30-year-old face did not look old, but rather listless. "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Do you understand what I'm saying?”
"I know that." Ling Jie said," Alright, I'll go take a look."”He didn't want to make things difficult for Song Jia. It wasn't easy for a woman to be able to do this. In fact, on the surface, everyone saw that Song Jia was smart and high-spirited, but he didn't know why Song Jia looked so cold and unreasonable.
"Alright, do it well." Song Jia said. She looked very tired, but she still tried her best to smile. "Lingjie, do me a favor and make me a cup of coffee.”
